Work: “Mother Earth – Pachamama”
We come from earth and in it we end.
A pitcher as a container, symbol of womb/mother/earth, working as a basket or hamper, a container widely used by Native American people.
Warp of work with hands, interweaving dry leaves, fiber, dreams, threads, stories….
Tireless job as the genesis of the human being dignity.
Human being portrayed as a fetus inside de pitcher with its umbilical cord, being fed by Mother Earth.
Earth portrayed as permanent home, which protects us, feeds us and gives us life.
Life, which urgently needs our thoughts about this iconography, because “Mother… there’s only one”.
